Chapter 153 Fields of Effort 51 +5 Free Coins Ardenia wasn't about to let this go. Not a chance. If taking his life wasn't possible, she'd at least ensure Calder received the largest possible compensation. Decision made, Ardenia slipped on her shoes, rose onto her toes, and pressed a kiss to Tobias' lips. "Don't follow me. Get some proper rest. My wood-based ability only heals the surface-your insides are up to you to fix. Take care of yourselves, okay?" Tobias' heart melted at her attention. Being cared for like this felt incredible.
Still, he didn't want to be left behind.' "Can't I come with you? I'm fine now. Look." Fearing she might refuse, Tobias flicked his tongue and circled her once. He looked better but still sounded fragile. Proper care was necessary. Ardenia knew she couldn't win this argument, so she relented. "Fine. Get dressed. We'll go check out the fields together." Tobias lit up. He retrieved the clothes Ardenia had made and leaned close, asking her to show him how to put them on. He actually knew already-he just wanted another excuse to stay close. Ardenia, small and delicate, barely reached his chest.
She was infuriatingly adorable. He loved it. His gaze softened and shimmered as he watched her hands adjust his collar. "Ardenia..." "Yeah?" "I like you so much." She curved her lips. "I know." Tobias leaned against her, barging into the tiny kitchen as if he owned the place. Halden didn't glance at him. He turned to split the half side of pork Scott had delivered. "Well, well, didn't expect you to be up too." Tobias scoffed. Halden lifted his eyes with a neutral expression. "You're standing there with your scales gone. My injury's nothing." Hmph. 1/3 12:43 Wed, Jan 21 MG.

Chapter 153 Fields of Effort 51 +5 Free Coins Tobias preened again. "All thanks to Ardenia being amazing. Next time, be careful. Even if she can heal you, it drains her." "You too." It hit like soft cotton. "What does that mean? Ardenia, what's he talking about?" Is that snow leopard actually worried about me? "Exactly what he just said." Ardenia smiled and released Tobias' hand, helping Halden stack the cut meat onto the winnowing basket. Seeing her approach, Halden's icy expression softened immediately. "Raw meat smells bad.
I'll handle it." She smelled too good-he wasn't letting her touch that. "I brewed coffee. Vesper and Niall are in the fields. Bring them some. I've got this covered." Living through life-and-death moments together had a way of making everyone value calm, quiet peace. Tobias grabbed the kettle immediately. "I'll go with Ardenia." Halden snatched it back. "You deliver some to Calder. Ardenia can take care of this one herself." Tobias huffed but went anyway. Calder fought as if life didn't matter, even at sea. Tobias had to admit he now respected him.
On land, Calder whined, cried, and picked fights without reason. Tobias used to despise him. After this, he realized the family worked best together. Missing even one person broke the whole. When Calder had been in danger, Tobias felt torn apart. He shivered. D*mn it! It's unsettling to care about my rival. Tobias, get a grip. Remember how he stole your chance? Still, maybe this was what Ardenia meant by family-standing together through storms, sharing victories and defeats. Pressing his lips tight, Tobias felt a new sense of belonging. He wasn't alone anymore.
Vesper and Niall were terrifyingly competent. Ardenia surveyed the fields they'd cleared and couldn't help but admire them. No machines-just shovels. Even so, the plots were flat and tidy, free of uneven highs and lows. They were beautiful. Her handsome mates looked impressive even while digging dirt. Niall spotted her and dropped his hoe, jogging over. "All done?" 2/3 12:43 Wed, Jan 21 Chapter 153 Fields of Effort +5 Free Coins 5 Fr "Yeah, everything is good now. Your hands have just recovered-don't overdo it." Ardenia handed him the chilled coffee.
Niall took it with a smile, his long fingers brushing the back of her hand by accident. "Flirt," she scolded playfully. He grinned. "Come on, my little female. Pretend you didn't notice. I did most of this work alone. If you don't give me some energy, I'm going to collapse." He downed the coffee in one go, then pulled Ardenia to face the two acres of dry field. "The beans are planted exactly like you said. But for these two plots, Vesper and I are stuck. We can't figure out how to bring river water up here. No one at home knows how to control it." 3/3 Liam Prescott
